Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional wave function approximation methods are used, then computational complexity is reduced, but accuracy of chemical property determination deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical/computational wave function approximation methods with a neural network-based quantum chemistry system. The neural network learns optimal wave function representations through training, substituting iterative computational mechanics with a trained model that provides both high accuracy and efficient evaluation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the wave function representation by introducing neural network parameters (weights and biases) that are optimized during training. This parameter transformation allows the system to adaptively represent complex quantum states while maintaining computational efficiency through the trained network structure.
2Measurement precision
If high-accuracy wave functions are constructed using neural networks, then chemical property determination accuracy improves, but data processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary training of the neural network offline to construct optimized wave function representations. Once trained, the network can rapidly evaluate chemical properties without requiring extensive real-time computation, thus reducing actual data processing time while maintaining high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the trained neural network as a reusable model that can be applied to multiple quantum chemistry problems. The learned wave function representation is copied and applied across different molecular systems, avoiding repeated training and enabling efficient prediction of chemical properties.
3Measurement precision
If walker processing with diffusion Monte Carlo methods is used, then chemical property accuracy improves, but computational resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a neural network as an intermediary between the quantum chemistry system and the walker processing. The neural network provides optimized trial wave functions that guide the diffusion Monte Carlo walkers more effectively, reducing the number of walkers and iterations needed to achieve accurate results, thus lowering computational resource requirements.
